Pressure points!

Hi everybody!

I'm new here! I came here to seek information about a martial arts style called, "Kyusho-Jitsu." My friend said that it could knock a person out with a gentle slap if used correctly.

After hearing that, I decided to do some research. I found that it originates from acupuncture and that it doesn't rely on brute strength. I also founded out that it concentrated on pressure points that can cause extreme pain, knock out a person, or just get them into the position you'd like them in.

When I did learn how they did it, I set out on a search for a body chart that would list the vital pressure points used with Kyusho. I didn't find one but I did manage to find an acupuncture chart which is good enough for me. I'm having trouble though. Even with the acupuncture chart, so far I only found a pressure point on the inside of my bicep and tricep on the bone. When I give it a gentle punch, I feel a serious shock through my whole arm to my palm.

I've seen in other Kyusho clips and videos where Kyusho masters knock out a person with just a gentle slap to the cheek or, "Stomach 5" I'd like to know where this stomach 5 is and other vital points because I can't find them myself. I've been poking my jaw side bone for about half an hour now and so far, I don't feel any sensation as of yet.

I apologize for the long explanation, I'm just determined to learn pressure point fighting styles so there's no violence and the fight can end in less than 10 seconds. I also forgot to mention, this is for self defense. I have no intentions of hurting, killing, or doing perma damage to anyone. I just merely want to knock them out, or get them in a painful but not damaging hold where I can try to reason with them.

Thank you for your time.

Pressure points require the proper angle and direction in order to be activated. For instance, you can whack your funny bone all day long but unless you get the proper angle/direction it won't so much as tingle.

OK, in the first place, it can be dangerous to screw around with pressure points without a qualified instructor around. Let's say you manage to find a knockout point on yourself. If you knock yourself out and hit your head on the floor as you fall. . .

Additionally some pressure points can shock the internal organs - -you dont' want to be doing that randomly or alone.

That's great, because PP's are a fascinating branch of the martial arts. But you really need more than an internet forum can provide. You should also be aware that there isn't really a PP fighting style - -i.e. one that only uses PP's. PP's are effective when used in combination with other techniques. If you try to hunt out PP's without knowing any other techniques, you'll get pounded.

By definition you cannot have a fight without violence. Ending it in 10 seconds is an admirable goal. I encourage you to look up a qualified SCARS instructor for a more realistic way to pull this off. They'll teach you the fight strategy known as RAT fighting (rapid assault tactics - -hey, the military loves its acronymns) in which you'll learn how to enter a fight, how to apply and keep pressure on in the fight, and how to terminate the fight without a bunch of pointless punching around.
